i met dean at bob's to show him how to run down i/t creek. man was it foggy. we started out looking for the yellow perch. we found some up on the flats around the island. they are starting to show up. after about a hour decided to look for the specks. most of the crappie were in 8ft of water fishing 6 ft deep. to my suprise the water temp went up 10 degrees from last sunday. well it looks like it is time for the perch to start moving in. i ended up with 12 keeper crappie which i released at the ramp. i also had one on and lost at the boat that would have been 1 1/2 lbs. Dean had some perch that were not filled out with row yet or they were some nice males. waiting for Deans report to see if they were males or females. Dean took some pictures and hopefully we will get a report soon. Dean i hope you had a good time learning a new body of water. tight lines JIM.B

I had a great time Jim. Thanks a million. Again, I am indebted to you by your generosity and know-how. I'll post a report w/pics tonight. Man it was foggy!

I was down there Sunday for the first time also... navigating in the pea-soup first thing in the AM. WOW! Thank goodness for GPS Map.
We started fishing half-way in to the North River and didn't find much. Eventually made it down to the island. Still didn't find the fish.
Glad you guys found some. I'd like to try the area again. That place must hold a ton of fish.

Not sure if you saw us. we were in a 17' center console carolina skiff.

Don't know if I saw you or not. We cut out around 1230-ish. I saw 2 other boats. I was in a grey Alumacraft.

get back down there in the next week or so skidrow.CF

Good days fishing you two, glad you go into some Jim.

I went out there Monday and got my limit of nice big speclkes but what really got me was the size of a couple of the yellow perch that I caught. One was 1lb 9 oz and the other was 1 lb 12 oz, both full of row. All of the yellow perch that I caught were females excpet for one. The two big ones were full of row and looked freakish because they were so big. Caught most all in 7ft of water, got some deeper and some shallower. Caught them on minnows below a float, regular and Rosey Reds. Bait Barn on 158 has a good supply of both.
